Being Grateful!

Diane wrote the following email after participating in our amazing Wisconsin Winter Wonderland Party:

That event was one of the most heart warming nights I have ever experienced.  I have worked with Patrick for a long time and have heard him talk on many occasions about trying to bring a Gigi’s Playhouse to Madison.   Since that time I have also met Zane, Sue and many others.  A few people with hearts of gold have fought and worked together and did not give up.  On one occasion in particular that night I came out of the kitchen and looked in to the main room, I saw the reality of this dream.  People were singing around the piano, beautiful family photos were being taken, kids were gathered around Santa, others were eating frozen custard with M&M sprinkles, Mom’s and Dad’s were talking and sharing stories, but mostly I felt like everyone just belonged there.

I am so thankful to be part of this group!  I am so thankful that Patrick, Zane, Sue and many others did not give up.
